The number one characteristic to be an elected republican is to be very stupid. This is all just a huge show for them to prove to their constituents that they are the dumbest people alive and thus garner votes.

Its ok to just pretend to be stupid, but I think alot of them become genuinely stupider over time. If you always acting one way you will train yourself to instinctively actually be that way.

Oh I’m praying alright but I wouldn’t say it’s for him, per se.

Do I even want to see how Democrats will fuck up a Thomas vacancy?

They won’t have a chance. It’s three years to an election. The people should be allowed to have their voices heard before a seat is filled!

Conspiracy-theorist me: Thomas is already gone and they’re hiding it until Jackson’s hearing is over. OR He’s hiding and working out a deal to retire in exchange for his wife not getting charged.

Realist me: He’s still in the hospital but they don’t want to overshadow Jackson’s hearing.

WAAF me: Thomas gets the best treatment, comes out alive and healthy as a horse, and lives for 20 more years.

He’s only 73? Jesus he looks 80 minimum

I mean he’s either in the hospital and it’s bad, he’s home and he’s fine, or he’s dead, right?

If he’s in the hospital, giving that update wouldn’t overshadow the hearings. And it would be less strange and attention-grabbing than refusing to update.

If he’s home recovering, they’d obviously update that barring extenuating circumstances.

So… it feels like there’s a chance?

This would be a tectonic shift in the next 20 years of American politics if he died. Like suddenly Roberts would be back to being the swing vote and sanity would prevail on a lot of these absurd cases, and maybe just maybe the election-related cases would only be absurd ā€œfuck you lolā€ rulings like half the time instead of 90%.

Plus only needing to bink one seat instead of two to flip the court back is a massive EV boost.

Also if the Garland DOJ and Biden administration had the stones to pull a move like this, holy shit. I mean they don’t, but… If they did I’d have to completely re-evaluate.

If Thomas is out of commission it screws up their plan to drop a bunch of crazy rulings this summer.
